4 Year Old Taylor Pugh has been suspended from his PreSchool classes for four weeks now because he has long hair. His long tresses are against his public school policy. Public School is really starting early on this kid.

From the KC website here:

Taylor Pugh has been suspended from pre-kindergarten because he likes his hair a little on the floppy side. The 4-year-old sat with a teacher’s aide in a suburban Dallas school library on Thursday during the fourth week of his in-school suspension.

Taylor’s locks – long on the front and sides, covering his earlobes and shirt collar – violate the school district’s dress code.

“They kicked me out that place,” said Taylor, who prefers the nickname Tater Tot. “I miss my friends.”

The follicle fight came to a head last month when Taylor’s parents received a signed letter from Floyd Elementary School’s principal, threatening to withdraw the boy from school if his hair didn’t comply with district standards. When Taylor’s parents didn’t budge, their son was suspended.

When the boy returned, his hair was longer than ever. But school officials decided suspension was too harsh and changed the punishment.

“They still have regular classroom work, but in an isolated environment,” Mesquite Independent School District spokesman Ian Halperin said of the modified in-school suspension that Taylor is serving.

School shootings and now this. What is this country coming to? Seriously, though, if every child decided to grow long hair too then the teachers would have to create separate rooms for every student according to this retarded zero-tolerance policy.

Thanks to Bryan for the story!
